If Doherty wins re-election & Courtright gets the Tax seat, Janet will not get her "super majority" on Konsil, as Doherty will be able to appoint Courtrigh's replacement.

Free Speech does't require a multi-paragrah disclaimer Mr. Pilchesky.

I CAN NOT believ what I read on DD. Some of the losers actually are embarassed on the voters for Chris Doherty. ITS THE MAJORITY , if it was up to them we would be living in a Hitler Era. Be upset all you want Gary lost, but the Mojority rules for crying out loud, get over it.

Again as usual Agame you are wrong. Janet will appoint the replacement with the approval of Frank and Pat. Bob McGoff might as well trade places with Sherry and get use to the corner. He sits alone a minority of {1}

Just don't get it do you?

My Toughts:

Election Winners:
Chris Doherty, though he no longer has the majority and can't do what he pleases, he won easily on the Dem and won a write in on the Rep while having a nominated Rep in Bolus. Still in charge of the hiring/firing, union contracts, cabinet, etc.

Janet Big win. Got to give credit where credit is due. She won with a nobody and a college kid. Now she will have a majority and be president. Now here's the question, what will she do with it? Does the local government now work with a system of checks and balances and compromises (I think I read somewhere about checks and balances and thats how government should work) or does she act vindictive and cancel anything the mayor does out of spite? This could be a great thing for the city. She can curb spending while the mayor continues to move the city forward. Yes this can be done through compromise. Or instead does she turn the konsil circus into an even larger city wide j-a-c-k a-$-$ rodeo? My bet is on the rodeo. Remember David council majority may only last for 2 years, if she doesn't accomplish anything, while the mayor will be there for 4. This is Janet Evans make or break. She now has the cards and can accomplish what she said she would, we will be watching and I'm sure the Times will keep everyone informed.

Losers

Public Safety Unions. No matter how many letters the People's team send, or throw fits, the mayor has the final say on the contracts and is the boss. I have not one ounce of pity here. They used every card from tragedy to canvassing neighborhoods with scare tactics of fire house closures to try to win. Guys I really hope those keep our firehouse signs have a return policy, cuz I no longer want to hear about how you haven't had any raises.

Joe Pilchesky. No matter the spin or any other BS he shovels at the end of the day his wife is a convicted felon doen hard time, owes $156K (oh by the way everything is in her name, smooth) and Chris Doherty is the mayor.

Now Joey who is getting desperate??  LOL LOL hey Joey DENIAL isn't just a river in Egypt... you freak of nature

Chris Doherty's political career ended tonight in a ball of embarrassing flames! * 10 very expensive flyers mailed over a ten-day period * 5 front page articles with photo-ops over a five-day run * 3700+ minutes of radio time * 4200+ minutes of tv time * quite the colorful door hanger for every door * 3,500 yard signs * 10 billboards * numerous spin-off articles touting one thing or another * repeated endorsements from Clinton to Rendell * a rash of glorifying letters to the editor on a daily basis * a personal tribute from the Times in its endorsement   * numerous City Hall employees working the streets/phones/stealing signs * endorsements from several local unions * shelled out an easy 1.3 million+ And he wins by 5% (+/-)? (Which is actually a 2.5% spread on a give/take basis) That won't get it done in a run for office out of this area.  Two days ago he was barking that he was up 20 points.  Many of us believed it was closer to 0 points, maybe even down 4 points. He desperately needed to win by 12 points + to impress Harrisburg, and that didn't come even close to happening.  Worst than that, he completely turned his back on Gatelli and Fanucci to save his own ass and now he's not only lost majority, but he's facing an adverse supermajority. (See the appointment of DiBileo to replace Courtright) Evans is in her basement now sharpening the axe. First thing to go? Doherty's nuts, what's left to them.

green volvo, green porsche

they all look alike
(in the dd minds, anyway)

joe pilcheski spent stolen money from his dearly departed father-in-law and heaven knows how much of OUR tax dollars filing 30+ bull$hit lawsuits, only to win HOW many?
ummm - none

If Chris Doherty wants to piss away $700,000, to win an election over Dibilio or anyone else, I say "more power to him" and a very hearty "thank you".

I must say If Missy Jan "leads" the council this should be great fun....now she has to actually put up or shut up .....lol  I can't wait for her to actually be held accountable for something!!

David...correction...none of us care how your son ran her campaign.  He is, however,  garnering quite the "like father like son" reputation though.  By the way, care to tell us which rapid DD poster Christopher is????  We have our suspicions.

Also, post here whenever you want, but don't for a New York minute expect that you're going to get back-pats and "Gee isn't Janet wonderful" accolades.  If you want that, then go over to DD and write a post about how successful Janet would be if she chose to work in the private sector (Oh wait, too late...Joe already did that...in fact, that particular post, if I remember correctly, was almost creepy in Joe's devotion to Janet...better keep an eye on that situation as Edith becomes a resident of the state correctional system...).


Doomers...Question:  Are implying that if Gary DiBileo were even capable of raisin that kind of money he wouldn't have spent it?  Come on...you're engaging in a line that's only going to fly when you are dealing with a bunch of Pilchesky's toadies.    If Gary could have raised that kind of money he would have spent every dime of it...and then some.
